Hudson was joined by two other legends as she entertained the crowd with the hip-swinging grooves of 'I Can't Describe.' Evelyn "Champagne" King came on stage as 'I Can't Describe' segued into the classic 'I'm In Love.'

Chaka Khan rose from a separate platform to perform 'Do What You Feel' backed by a few dancers of her own. The two classics excited the audience, but 'I Can't Describe' remained the main song throughout. T.I. even performed his verse on the track, adding a bit of modern flavor to the festivities.

Off stage, the songstress, who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, stars in the compelling film 'Black Nativity,' which premiered last weekend.
